A life of freedom

The Independent Living lifestyle at Primrose emphasizes freedom and vitality. Modern conveniences — like a beauty salon or a fitness center — are across the hall instead of across town. You might also be interested to find that the ice cream parlor and theater have now come to you!

With independent living at Primrose, things likes mowing the grass, fixing the leaky water pipe or even doing the laundry can be traded in for a rousing game of cards, a night out with close friends or even just the peace and quiet of your own living room.

Where ELSE can you dance with Miss Ohio?

Stuff to do!

Life at retirement slows down just enough to let an antique car show roll in. Seniors at the Zanesville Primrose enjoyed celebrating their one year anniversary with a collection of 4-wheeled collectibles. Take a look at these beauties (and the cars are pretty nice, too).

Years of experience

For nearly two decates we’ve been designing innovative retirement communities that match a variety of needs. Our apartment homes are developed for your privacy, needs and convenience. Take a glance through our floorplans, then let us take you on a walk-through to find out which apartment home best fits your lifestyle. Floorplans may vary by community. Explore our different floorplans by selecting a Primrose senior living community.

At home

Our single bedroom suites feature generously sized rooms ranging from 707 to 936 square feet. The large living room and warm and friendly atmosphere of these apartments is ideal for entertaining guests, neighbors and family.

“For the independent at heart who need assistance”: A Life of Convenience

The Assisted Living lifestyle at Primrose is all about safety, 24-hour care and service. Primrose staff can assist you with supportive services like medication management, housekeeping, laundry, and personal care. While promoting maximum independence, the assisted living program works for people who require daily assistance in living activities but do not need the intensive medical care that is provided at a nursing facility.

Getting to know you

Before you move in to your new Assisted Living home at Primrose, you will have the opportunity to meet with our staff — including our nurse manager — to discuss what services may be necessary. For your comfort and safety, your individual plan of service will be ready to take effect on the day you move in. Contact us today to get started with your move-in.

Designed for care and safety

At Primrose we take pride in having caring, skilled and friendly employees. We also take pride in our communities and floor plans which are designed to assist our staff as they care for our residents. Just a glance at our senior apartments will show an attention to detail that makes each apartment a great place to call home, and a convenient place to receive experienced care and assistance.

Convenient space

Our one-bedroom assisted living apartments provide plenty of space for visiting friends, family and neighbors. With a full walk-in closet and kitchenette, these apartments give you the extra space you need to feel at home.

Even more to enjoy

Our larger two-bedroom assisted living apartments boast 720 square feet, and both bedrooms have full walk-in closets. With a private bath and kitchenette (including a full-size refrigerator), you’ll have all the space you need and still have everything within reach.
